2023 - Kaufmaus
2023 - Kaufmaus
The second in our series of annual collaborative blends with Andi. Kaufmaus is inspired by a mutual love of German supermarkets and vineyard-grown rocket.
Elegant and mineral, with saline white peach that opens up into brighter aromatics, lovely length and a nice bit of structure.
